Who We Are

Alven Chan

Founder & Principal Instructor
DipRSL Level 4 Music Teaching

I founded Demi Quaver Rock Academy as I believed that there was a disconnect between passion and modern music education. As the earliest Rockschool DipRSL graduate in Johor Bahru with over 10 years of specialized teaching experience with both young children and mature adults, I make it my mission raise the standards of local music education.
